      I'd like to find a ranking of the top DA websites on the web. I'm mostly interested in US websites. I'd like at least the top 10,000 or so but the more the better. Is there a way to get this data from OpenSiteExplorer or another source?

      The closest I've found is Double Click's listing of the top 1000 most_visited_ (not DA) websites: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/

      Thanks!

        This is Megan from the SEOmoz Help Team.  Unfortunately, we don't have a list of sites with the highest DA.  Sorry about that!  I've passed your suggestion over to our engineering team, though, so hopefully we'll add something down the line!

          Thanks for the help Keri.

          Sure, here's some context. We have 250,000+ small businesses who use Thumbtack to find more work. Recently, we surveyed those small businesses asking them how easy/hard their state/city was for starting a small business -- taxes, regulations, etc. You can see the results of that survey here: thumbtack.com/survey.

          In order to get coverage of the survey, we emailed journalists at relevant websites. Of course, we're most interested in high trafficked and high DA websites writing about this. So, we were hoping to use a list of the top 1,000 or 10,000 DA websites as a brainstorming exercise to help us think about what sort of websites we should reach out to now, and what sort of websites we could reach out to in the future if we did a different type of survey.

          Thanks!

            I don't know that we offer this at all, but I'll ask around SEOmoz and see. Can I give a little context for your request, so we know if this is something that might appeal to more people -- a bit of information about how this might be used?

              One month later, MOZ has not scanned my web

              It's been more than a month since we published our new website, you can see the link in my profile, and MOZ has not scanned or taken out the links to my page.
              Do you know any way to tell MOZ that the page is published?
              I have checked my robots.txt and everything seems to be ok. Google search console, takes out all the links correctly but MOZ is not able to.
              Thanks to all of you for helping me

              How To Increase Blog DA to 50+

              Hey, I am wondering to know the key metrics which MOZ considers before giving a blog of DA 50+. I have tried to search but couldn't find the best answers so was wondering how it's achieved. For example a site named "SportsALA" have a DA of 20 but i see they have links from many sites. I have checked other sites as well for example and they have less RDs but still had higher DA. Can anyone help me to explain Moz DA 2.0 factors a bit more. Thanks

              Can affiliate links benefit or hurt my seo?

              I have just signed up with a company to do affiliate marketing for my site. I am now in the process of  reaching out to publishers and seeing who will publish my link on their site. Is there any benefit in terms of seo for having these links, and can there be any potential downside to these links as well?

              What are the SEO implications of high quality backlinks from US-based websites to UK-based websites?

              Hi everyone, quick question I hope someone could help me with: We're representing a client based in the UK. As part of their overall strategy we've been linkbuilding. At the moment, about 80/90% of the links we've gained come from UK-based sites, with 10/20% coming from US-based websites. The US based websites are very good (think New York Times and genuine, relevant blogs with good readerships). An external search analyst/consultant has contacted the client to say that the US links will be harming the site, because the links are from websites in the US and not the UK. We believe that if 80/90% of the links were from the US this could indeed cause harm as it could indicate to search engines that our client is in the US when it's not (which might compromise their chance of ranking in .co.uk versions of search engines) however because it's only 10/20%, and because the linking sites are very good, we believe that they will getting all of the benefits of the positive metrics without any meaningful negatives. We just wanted to get a few opinions on this to see if people think that we're mistaken, and would be glad to hear any opinions contrary to our own.

              Top 20 sites for backlinking

              My security jobs website was doing very well in Search engines until the penguin got hold of me.  I don't profess to be at pro at SEO however seem to have a knack of getting sites to rank well.  I think I made some basic mistakes with the original security jobs website, to many links to soon, so I have started again and will build up slowly the backlinks quality rather than quantity this time.  My questions is what are the top 20 or so sites that are good to backlink from?

              Asking other websites to link your website when the want to be in your directory

              Hello, We have 3 web directories, and I wonder if it is legal for search engines to ask people who want to be in the directory to link to a particular website in order to be in our directory. I mean, it is free adding the url in the directory but if they lwant to be in the directory they have to ink to a website we have decided.
              Is this correct, or is punishable? Thanks!
